So I recently made a run to a BevMo! near my university and was looking at the selection of sodas that they had. I know, lame, but I can’t drink yet, not 21 
But BevMo! surprised me with a great selection. Needless to say, being a lover of sweets and sours and anything that has sugar in it, I went a little soda crazy. I bought a few bottles of soda here and there, including Jones and Leninade. I haven’t tried any of those yet, but I did try one of the most interesting sodas that caught my eye, Waialua Mango Soda.
The soda was pretty good. I shared it with the boyfriend and we finished it relatively fast. Since it is in a glass bottle, I felt that the bottle did allow the soda to retain more of it’s carbonation which is what soda should have. However, the soda does not really have a strong mango flavor to it. It does give you a hint of mango but it doesn’t give me that intense flavor of mango that you can get from an intense flavor of lemon-lime in sprite or 7up. There’s also a hint of melony flavor in there, so if you cantaloupe/honeydew lovers are reading this, give this soda a try. I bet you’ll like it! Anyways, the soda isn’t that bad but it could use a little more work on the mango flavor. Lemme know what you guys think of the soda! Maybe I just can’t taste the mango in the soda….
Jones makes great sodas although they’re too sweet for my taste. I’ve fallen in love with Santa Cruz Organic sparkling beverages. The ginger ale is really good and tastes absolutely amazing with a robust ginger flavor! You gotta get some.
